Besides if that rule applies to every industry where there's a laid off US Citizen, there would be a lot of unemployed residents in the United States, not paying taxes and possibly be on welfare. Also, you know, you can be European and be a US citizen, yes even if they have accents, and why does it matter that they're senior to you? It just means, that person worked their a** off before you did. It would be the same reason why a US citizen would be senior to you.
Nobody said anything about accents (I speak four languages, three of which are european in origin).
Nothing wrong with dual citizenship either
Ultimately my issue here is why can't I get a pilot job at Lufthansa, AF, or BA? Until that is answered, I have no sympathy for greencard holders. Stop spewing crap about rights and laws in the US when the EU will not reciprocate.
